Plaintiff states that he cannot afford to hire counsel. Dkt. 9. However, the inability to hire counsel is not an exceptional circumstance warranting court appointment. Contrary to the assertions in plaintiff's motion, this case does not involve complex facts or law and Plaintiff has shown an ability to articulate his denial of access to courts claims in a clear fashion understandable to the Court. Dkt. 8. Further, Plaintiff has does not show that he is likely to succeed on the merits of his case.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

(1) Plaintiff's motion for counsel (Dkt. 9) is DENIED.

(2) The Clerk shall send a copy of this Order to Plaintiff and counsel for Defendants.
